Now that the new Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ has a Snapdragon processor, can we get a Yoga Tablet sub-forum?
If I recall correctly, the reason they couldn't create a Yoga Tablet sub-forum in the past was because of the Mediatek processor which didn't comply with the forum requirements.
Moderators?
I also vote for a yoga sub-forum.
In my point of view there is enough stuff to discuss, which especially focus these devices.

Lenovo offers the Android BS for the Yoga 10 HD+ (B8080) as OpenSource-Code-download on the product's support page.
I think this is one more reason to open a sub-forum for this device, isn't it?
+1 from me
Actually, I just came straight from the other thread to open one requesting this myself.
+ 1 for a Lenovo Yoga 10 HD+ subforum - root? brightness issue?
+ 1 for a Lenovo Yoga 10 HD+ subforum. :good:
The open source-code of Lenovo is published here
By the way: Is there any solution or a guide for rooting the device? Is anything known about updating on Android 4.4 and are there any other roms available for this device till now?
Sorry for asking questions like this, but as I own the Lenovo Yoga 10 HD+ just for some weeks, I don't know much about that. Also searching in this forum didn't help me. There are just some Rooting-Guides for the Lenovo Yoga 10 (which is already running Android 4.4, as far as I researched?), but for the HD+ I didn't find anything.
One other question @ all Lenovo Yoga 10 HD+ owners:
I have problems with the brightness-settings. When I use the Lenovo Yoga 10 HD+ outdoor and I need a brightened screen, I switch of the brightness-automatic mode. But even if I do so, the tablet regulates the brightness of the screen down - sometimes after some minutes, sometimes even after some seconds. Anyone else here, who has the same issue or even has an solution for that?
Thank you and sorry for my bad english!
It's not my native tongue...

+1 for a Yoga HD+ Subforum!
Yesterday I got an update to Android 4.4.2 - no problems so far.
Are there any news or rumours for an Android L Update yet?

Do you have the Wifi or 3g version?
I hope for the 3g version, then my tablet would get the update soon too.
I also hope that we get a sub-forum soon. The tablet is awesome and there is room for improvement with custom ROMs.
I think somebody already made a start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/recovery-cwm-lenovo-yoga-10-hd-b8080-h-t2811815

I've got the Wifi Version but i'm wishing you luck
It's weird that i haven't found a official announcement for the latest update yet.
Is there an official changelog?
And for the records: +1 for a yoga hd+ subform
Sub forum would be good
+1 for the sub forum.
Come on!
There are even Yoga 2 tablets now! A dedicated sub forum is long overdue.
Come on!

My +1 on a new Yoga forum, I'm a new Yoga 2 8 owner.
Yoga 2 10" here. Agreed on finding a forum home for this.
very interested in the yoga to tablet I'm pretty disappointed to find that there is not a sub forum for the yoga series on xda.
Just bought a Yoga 2 10" at a bargain price and with VAT cash back by redemption.
Hopefully that will mean more sales in the UK. Would be great to see a dedicated forum.
Would also like to see a dedicated spot for the Yoga on xda. Now that the device architecture has changed, it would be nice to get some development going for it.
Mine is officially ordered as of last night. The Pro 13.3 just sounds like a complete monster and too good to pass up on. A stereo system paired with sub and a projector on a tablet. As more Android devices are going Intel, I think development should start picking up.
+1 Lenovo Yoga SubForum
+1 in the idea to get a subforum for the lenovo yoga hd+.
Please anyone help us
Come one with Yoga 2 sub-forum!
count me in
I'd also love a Yoga subforum! I just got my Tablet 2 Pro yesterday, and although it's a good tablet already, I'm very excited to get it rooted and fix some performance issues it's having. A subforum would definitely help with that!
Hello guys
I want to buy the tab 4 t230 mainly for reading pdf files
is it a good tablet and how about its performance ? I don't want it to be all laggy
thanks for your help
I don't know about the 230, but I have the 330 model and reading PDF files, and any other sort of document is a overall good experience for me. One could make the argument that bigger is better, but for me having the 8" model in horizontal or even vertical layout has worked quite well when it came to looking at notes, editing documents or even reading textbooks for college lectures/classes. I haven't noticed any lag when it came to just looking at a file, only when it came to running graphics intensive games.
(Quick summary) I use the 8" tablet daily and love it. recently, I purchased two textbooks from the play store and reading them and other PDF files work perfectly. :good:
-still it's always good to browse around.
Update: Before I made the purchase on the 8" model I read around that if you have a little bit extra it was a good idea to buy the 8" model over the 7" cause of the different processors inside. So it's all about how much you're willing to spend.

Edit. I would not buy the 7...
I bought the 8 and the below is for the 8...sorry. I forgot to mention that.
The tab in itself is decent, but with samsung pushy BS Apps the tab is slower...
However, should you buy the tab >> Root device with Towel root >> Freeze / uninstall all bloatware >> Install nova launcher >> Disable animations system wide >> Move larger apps to SD >> Presto = You've got a good tab!
Samsung software is not needed whatsoever. You can get a huge performance advantage by removing bloatwares and providing near android stock performance with nova launcher and animations disabled.
srsly no, i am still unable to root it, for the same price i would suggest a nexus 7
I rooted it out of the box a night or two ago. Just got it.
Same here, root capabilities were available a few weeks to a month after it was available for purchase back in june. I bought my tablet back in May when it first came out. However, I would still agree that a nexus 7 would be a good purchase if you just want to use a tablet for reading PDFs. Actually the Nexus 7 2013 edition is on sale for $159 on Ebay. The Nexus is still Googles current-gen device as of now and has many accessories and what not available, while it took months before I could even buy a cheap case for this tablet ( Better cases and accessories are out now, just not a plethora made specifically for the Tab4).

What is your device model? My tab is the 8 inch one. The 8 and 10 have similar specs and processor whereas the 7" tab has a marvel based processor and thus is different methodology to root.
Also, Yes I did update to latest firmware on my tab. Opened the box, ran updates, and rooted all about 3 days ago.

thx for replying, mine is the 7 inch SM-T230, guess i will wait awhile
I do too know if I am speaking out of place, but can you return it and get the 8? Fr9. What is love ready Modders are having issues with the 7. The 8 and 10 are where it's at. I believe the 7 will always be sluggish.

yeah its a gift from the telephone company, if i get to pick i prolly will go with the 10 inch one, or the new sony z3tc
Ah, you might be out of luck until they can find a better root method for the marvel processor in your model..
Thiugh, reportedly if you go to the towel root thread it has worked for 7 inch users.
Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a galaxy tab 4 tablet or something similar for under $150 if there's better options out there. I'm basically looking for something I can root, flash and just tinker around with. I noticed there's a bunch of different model numbers, is there any models that cannot be rooted? If i go out and buy a brand new one will I be able to root it?
I bought the tablet for my son. I have a sony tablet z2 and i am surprised that the tab works very well. I thought that it would stutter,...but it is very good beginers tablet. I have bought him SM-T533 10.1 WI-fi model which has a new 64bit snapdragon 410 SOC version...despite the low PPI on tablet the display is nice and also the battery is powerful. As for rooting i think you could easily root it...but since it is working very well why would you like to root it for. buy it and enjoy

SM-T530 (Wi-Fi only), SM-T530NU (Wi-Fi only, IR blaster), SM-T535 (4G) for the 10.1 inch series, SM-T330 (Wi-Fi only), SM-T330NU (Wi-Fi only, IR blaster) for the 8.0 series. Those are the ones with real custom rom support. Cyanogenmod 12.1 on this tablet is very nice, especially blisspop. Most models can be rooted, but AFAIK the SM-T533 cannot be rooted.
I remember reading that the SM-T533 (10.1), SM-T333 (8.0), and SM-T233 (7.0) can't be rooted yet. Some of the AT&T and Verizon branded models (SM-T537A, SM-T337A, SM-T537V, SM-T337V) can't be rooted because of the locked bootloader and there's no chance for roms on any of them IMO.
Oh, a guide to the model numbers: they're all SM-T###. The first # is either 2, 3, or 5. Any model number where that first number is 2 is a 7.0 inch, 3 is an 8.0, and 5 is 10.1. The second number is always 3, don't worry about it so much. The last number can be several numbers: if it's 0 it's a Wi-Fi only model, 1 is a 3G model, and 5 and 7 are 4G models. So: SM-T231 is a 7.0 3G, SM-T335 is an 8.0 4G, etc.

If you're looking for a travel friendly model go for the sm-t330nu galaxy tab 4 8.0
mostly the same as the sm-t530nu
easily mod-able and many/most rom builds for sm-t530/nu can be ported to sm-t330nu with a kernel build and some
correction of proprietary binaries and libraries, usually sound.
also you can set up a chrooted distro on external sdcard and run at terminal, this comes is very handy for kernel builds
and similar smaller projects, especially for projects that encounter issues when attempting a cross-compile for arm.
As long as you have the chrooted distro established correctly, including the kernel headers for your tab model installed
in the right place, you can achieve native compiles for the tab on the tab.
I have the sm-t530nu and the sm-t330nu and both are set-up the same in that regard, very handy.
Hi All,
I am trying to look for the Tab 4, 7.0" in 16GB.... does this exist? Because if so, I am having trouble trying to find it... All I can find is either the 7.0" in 8gb.... or I can find the 8.0" in 16gb....
So if there is a Tab 4, 7.0" with 16GB storage, what is the model number for it please?? like T230... ?
Also, does the Tab 4 Tablets feature the Knox security?? And if so, is it permanent, like the newer devices... Or can it be reset with Triangle Away, like the older devices (ie: my phones, i9100 and N7000).
Any help gratefully received.
Basically mum wants to treat my dad to a Tablet, but for under/around £100. I am basically trying to find one that is very customizable and has a great community of ROMs and is safe from things like Knox. Is the Tab 4 my best option, or are there any other budget Tablets out there... with a large community of ROMs and safe for flashing...
Many thanks, Lister
Hello there. So I recently purchased an Amazon Fire 8 HD 10th generation tablet and updated it to the latest firmware. It is linked to my Amazon account and I currently have Prime. Soon after using the tablet for my first time, I realized that it was not really an Android device but closer to a leapfrog. I am wondering whether I should return this tablet and get something else if that would be the easiest thing to do, otherwise, is there a way to convert this into an Android device since, essentially, all mobile phones and laptops and tablets are computers at the end of the day. Is there anything I can do or am I better off buying a regular android tablet online?
